The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) will organize the WMO/JMA SIGMET Workshop, from 27 to 30 June 2016 in Tokyo, Japan.

This workshop, which is also coordinated with ICAO, will be a contribution to the international effort to improve the provision of aeronautical meteorological service to international air navigation which is aligned with the WMO priorities for the current financial period.

The aim of the workshop will be to assist aeronautical meteorological service providers in the Asia/Pacific Region, especially those within the coverage of JMA’s meteorological satellite Himawari-8, in improving the competency of their aeronautical meteorological forecasters in meeting effectively the international requirements for issuance of SIGMET information.
